Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

Seeing that she had finished reading everything, Lin Xiaofeng said, "These were found in the secret door of the desk belonging to the deceased head of the Yabuuchi family in the warehouse."

"In other words, the head of the Yabuuchi family had already discovered evidence that Yabuuchi Hidekazu had secretly borrowed money from his family, and these dates were all chosen to be the sensitive day after tomorrow."

"You know, before the head of the Yabuuchi family died, no one would have thought about when the will would be made public."

"Who wants him to die at this time? Who will benefit most from this will?"

"And then, considering why Guangmei's mother died before?"

"Where is the brother of Guangmei's mother, who always says things that are outrageous?"

"These are all problems..."

Yukiko had no idea that her casual agreement would turn into such a huge mess. She asked worriedly, "What should we do now?"

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled coldly, "Of course, we should find the murderer and subdue him."

Upon hearing this, Yukiko nodded silently and said, "Since her current husband is highly suspicious, I'm afraid he might harm Hiromi. If possible, I hope you, Xiaofeng, can help take care of Hiromi..."

Lin Xiaofeng looked at her speechlessly and said, "They are a married couple who sleep together at night. There's no way I can take care of her."

"Besides, with me here, the other party is unlikely to cause any trouble. Guangmei's crisis level is almost zero."

"The possibility that the murderer would directly expose himself and rush in to assassinate me is much greater than what you're saying."

Yukiko blushed and said awkwardly, "I, I was just concerned about Hiromi."

"But I'm relieved now that you've said that."

"Waaah..."

Lin Xiaofeng grabbed her hand, his gaze lingering on her shapely buttocks encased in her tight jeans, and chuckled, "Hehehe... let's have some fun together."

……

Outside the door, night was deepening.

Hiromi Yabuchi's footsteps startled Lin Xiaofeng, who was checking the letters.

This was followed by her knocking and calling.

"Kaze-kun, it's time to eat. You and Yukiko, why don't you come out and eat?"

Yukiko, now dressed in a new outfit, opened the door and said, "Hiromi, wait a moment, we're coming right away."

Seeing that her best friend was still as beautiful as ever, Hiromi Yabuuchi moved closer to Yukiko.

"Yukiko, we're both women. I don't believe you've maintained your looks so well all these years without Xiaofeng's help. I can tell. Xiaofeng definitely..."

"Guangmei!"

Yukiko quickly covered her mouth, glanced at Lin Xiaofeng, and said with a slightly flushed face, "Don't say things like that anymore. Hiromi, you're making me very embarrassed, you know that?"

Hiromi Yabuuchi winked at her and patted her chest, saying, "Don't worry, the soundproofing in the rooms here is pretty good. You and Kaze can do whatever you want."

"Yukiko, Hiromi, what are you talking about?" Lin Xiaofeng also came out of the room.

"No, it's nothing..."

Sensing Yukiko's warning look, Hiromi Yabuuchi waved her hands repeatedly, "I came to invite the two of you to dinner. We've prepared a special sukiyaki to treat you today..."

"You two, don't just stand there, or you'll get cold."

Yukiko instinctively took Lin Xiaofeng's arm: "Oh, here we come."

……

on the desktop.

A large sukiyaki, enough to entertain guests, is at its hottest.

Upon seeing Lin Wu Xiaoyi arrive, the eight members of the Yabuu family had already discussed it in a tacit manner and stood up to invite him to the second seat. As for the main seat, it was naturally the seat of the elder, Yabuu Yoshifusa.

Yukiko sat down next to him.

Just as the elderly Yabuuchi Yoshifusa put down his serving chopsticks, Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki, with his blond hair, spoke up in a boisterous manner: "Mr. Hayashi, with the arrival of such a great detective as you, everything will become clear. I happen to have a few bottles of fine wine here, which would be perfect to entertain such a distinguished guest as you."

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head; he had no interest in sake diluted with water, which was Japanese white wine.

"I think we should just eat. The Yabuuchi family is distributing their assets tomorrow, and it would be troublesome if we were to miss it."

Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki understood the implication, but he wasn't embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, "As expected, Mr. Hayashi was right. I was careless."

At that moment, Hiromi Yabuuchi came in from outside with two stacks of dishes. Looking at the empty seats, she asked in confusion, "Where's Auntie? Wasn't she the one who suggested having sukiyaki?"

"Why has she disappeared without a trace?"

Her seemingly simple and honest husband, Hidekazu Yabuuchi, replied:

"My second aunt is going to a class reunion she hasn't seen in a long time today. She said she might be back late tonight and told us not to wait for her at 1.4."

Upon hearing this, Yoshiyuki Yabunouchi couldn't help but retort, "What? Dad's only been dead for a short time, and she's already so eager to find a man."

"I really don't know what my dad saw in her back then. If you ask me..."

His wife, Keiko Yabunouchi, suddenly grasped his hand, interrupting him at the same time.

Keiko Yabuuchi leaned closer and whispered a reminder: "Machiko's stepmother will also inherit the company's shares. As the future head, you will inevitably need her support, so it's best to say less."

Yabunouchi Yoshiyuki was speechless.

When faced with personal gain, one can abandon one's own likes and dislikes.

It took him a long time to recover, and then he began to talk amicably with Yabuuchi Hidekazu.

It was as if the person who looked unhappy just a second ago wasn't him at all.

On the other side, Lin Xiaofeng quietly withdrew his gaze from Yabuuchi Hidekazu.

He began to connect the several clues in his mind.

542. Family members turned against each other over inheritance.

Why did this person speak of Yabuuchi Machiko so naturally? Did Yabuuchi Machiko just happen to meet him and ask him to help deliver the message?

But wasn't this guy busy until just now, when he rushed back from the company?

The fact that he specifically called to ask him to relay the message further demonstrates the close relationship between the two.

Is there any connection between these two people...?

As I was thinking, the phone suddenly rang near the door.

Hiromi Yabuuchi, who was reminiscing about her childhood with Yukiko, stood up quite naturally, as if she had never done so before.

Hearing the phone ring, Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi's eyes lit up. "Sister, could it be that the lawyer is coming to tell us what we need to prepare?"

"After all, it's announcing such a large amount of assets, and we weren't prepared at all."

Hidekazu Yabuuchi nodded in deep agreement. "I also felt it would be him. He seems to have been talking to us less on the phone lately."

"Today is the day before the will is to be announced. They should at least have called our family to let us know."

"Alright, just answer it and you'll find out."

Hiromi Yabuuchi excitedly turned on the speakerphone in her 17th grade house, "Hello, this is the Yabuuchi family."

"It's the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts..."

Upon hearing the noisy sounds of Yabuuchi Machiko and her group, Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki's expression instantly changed, completely forgetting his wife's earlier warning, which was several kilometers away.

"What the hell? It's her."

"Didn't I say I was going out to have fun? Why did you call back?"

"Could it be that they want us to prepare water for her so she can take a bath when she gets back?"

To protect family harmony, Hiromi Yabuchi quickly turned off the speakerphone and asked, "Second Aunt, is there something you need to tell me on the phone?"

Amidst the noise, Yabuchi Machiko's voice remained clear: "Oh, it's like this, because I might get back late, I don't know if there's still firewood left in the bathroom."

Hiromi Yabuchi thought for a moment and said, "It seems like there isn't enough. I don't know what happened this afternoon, but all the hot water was used up. It might not be convenient to take a shower tonight."

Youxizi and Lin Xiaofeng: "..."

The voice continued, "I already guessed that having two more guests might not be enough, so I prepared firewood this morning. Therefore, Guangmei, you—"

The startled scream from Yabuuchi Machiko instantly erased the embarrassment from Yukiko's face.

Did something happen to this person?

Hiromi Yabuuchi was also startled. "Second Aunt, are you alright?"

There was a pause on the other end before they replied, "It's nothing. It was just a classmate who got drunk and accidentally threw up next to me."

"Alright, that's settled then. I'll leave the firewood over there in the bathroom to you."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Hiromi Yabuuchi sighed, "It seems that Second Aunt really has found a new man, just like Yoshiyuki said."

The younger brother of the Yabuchi family, Yoshiyuki Yabuchi, scoffed, "Dad has only been dead for a short time, and she still has the nerve to do that?"

"I really don't know what Dad was thinking, to marry a woman like this to divide our family property."

Seeing this, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa shook his head and said, "Alright, everyone should be more acknowledging and tolerant of their family members."

"Now that my brother has just passed away, it is precisely the time when the family needs to unite. If there is infighting at this time, outsiders will definitely be happy."

Yabunouchi Yoshiyuki turned his head away, too lazy to reply.

If it weren't for you, old man, coming back, our family wouldn't have had this whole "dividing the spoils" thing—no, not even a fair distribution. How could we possibly have had a fight?

Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Yabunouchi Yoshifusa had no choice but to unleash his ultimate move—

He pulled a letter from his pocket and placed it on the table, saying expressionlessly, "If no one believes this old man, then take a look at this..."

Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki pursed his lips and stuck his head over.

He wanted to see what this old man was up to.

But when he saw the words, large and small, on the paper, his pupils constricted sharply, and he muttered, "How... how could anyone dare to do this..."

Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Yabunouchi Yoshifusa nodded and continued:

"On the day I agreed to come back, I received a letter that said if I didn't want to die, I should stay away from coming back."

I don't know who sent this letter to me, but it proves that someone in the family is not very welcoming of my return.

“Carlos is the bodyguard I hired to protect me from any extreme methods.”

"Originally, I thought it wasn't a big deal that everyone wanted a bigger share of the money, but..."

Seeing the way you're all acting now, I'm afraid you'll make a big mistake sooner or later..."

"Then the company that my brother worked so hard to build will suffer."

After saying that, he sighed deeply again.

It was as if he had devoted himself to the future of the family.

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this scene.

He knew this because he had seen the correspondence between Yabunouchi Yoshichika, the head of the Yabunouchi family, and his younger brother—

This person is not Yabunouchi Yoshifusa at all!

He was just a good friend of Yoshifusa Yabunouchi in Brazil.

The purpose of coming here is to protect Carlos, the son of Yabuuchi Yoshifusa and a Brazilian woman.

In other words, the black man who was standing obediently behind him, smelling the sukiyaki, was the one in charge of the inheritance.

This old man is just a bodyguard!

Even a bodyguard needs this kind of acting skill these days; I wonder if the actors in the movie felt embarrassed...

……

"Hey, Xiaofeng, are you spacing out? Have you found out anything about Guangmei's husband yet?"

"I'm still waiting for you to rescue Guangmei from this abyss."

Seeing that Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were a little strange, Yukiko patted his thigh, her voice tinged with a hint of resentment.

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Yabuuchi Hidekazu, who was diligently pouring out the beef, shook his head slightly, and said:

“It’s been too long, and this is something I can’t solve by myself. It would be impossible without the help of the local county police headquarters. I’ve already contacted them, and now we just have to wait for their news.”

Upon hearing this, Yukiko nodded silently.
